  • Patent number: 10898462
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ASD-associated disorders, such as Fragile X syndrome (FXS); Rett syndrome (RS); or Angelman syndrome (AS). CBDA has been shown to be particularly effective in improving cognitive dysfunction in rodent models of ASD, FXS, RS and AS. The CBDA is preferably substantially pure. It may take the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis such that the CBDA is present at greater than 95% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. Alternatively, the CBDA is synthetically produced.

  • Publication number: 20200138738
    Abstract: The present invention relates in the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the treatment of Sturge Weber syndrome. CBD appears particularly effective in reducing all types of seizures and non-seizure symptoms in patients suffering with Surge Weber syndrome. Preferably the CBD used is in the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis such that the CBD is present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. In particular the cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has been substantially removed, to a level of not more than 0.15% (w/w) and the propyl analogue of CBD, cannabidivarin, (CBDV) is present in amounts of up to 1%. Alternatively, the CBD may be a synthetically produced CBD.

  • Publication number: 20200056839
    Abstract: A method of operating, during an at least partial shutdown of a refrigerant distribution subsystem in a natural gas liquefaction facility, can include: draining down at least a portion of a mixed refrigerant in one or more components of the refrigerant distribution subsystem into a high-pressure holding tank of a drain down subsystem, wherein draining down to the high-pressure holding tank is achieved by pumping the mixed refrigerant from the refrigerant distribution subsystem to the high-pressure holding tank or backfilling the refrigerant distribution subsystem with a backfill gas; and optionally, transferring at least a portion of the mixed refrigerant into a low-pressure drum from the high-pressure holding tank.

  • Publication number: 20200056838
    Abstract: A method of recycling liquefied natural gas (LNG) boil-off gas (BOG) in natural gas liquefaction plants can include: supplying a feed gas to a liquefaction subsystem; liquefying the feed gas to produce LNG and end-flash gas (EFG); compressing the EFG to compressed EFG; using the compressed EFG as fuel gas; storing the LNG in one or more LNG tanks; compressing LNG BOG from the one or more LNG tanks to produce compressed LNG BOG; and either (1) operating in a recycle mode by supplying at least a portion of the compressed LNG BOG to the feed gas via a bidirectional line, or (2) operating in a fuel mode by (a) supplying a portion of the feed gas to the fuel gas via the bidirectional line and (b) supplying the compressed LNG BOG to the fuel gas.

  • Publication number: 20200056807
    Abstract: Liquefied natural gas (LNG) boil off gas (BOG) and/or end flash gas (EFG) can be used to recondense refrigerant vent gas. For example, a method can include: passing LNG BOG through a first condensing heat exchanger and/or passing an EFG from liquefaction system through a second condensing heat exchanger; and condensing the refrigerant vent gas in the first and/or second condensing heat exchangers, wherein (when using the first condensing heat exchanger) the LNG BOG is the coolant in the first condensing heat exchanger and (when using the second condensing heat exchanger) the EFG is the coolant in the second condensing heat exchanger, and wherein (when using both condensing heat exchangers) the first and second condensing heat exchangers are in parallel and not in series.

  • Publication number: 20200022925
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a combination of two different cannabinoids in the treatment of leukaemia. The combination of CBD with THC appears to be particularly effective in reducing cell number in this disease. Preferably the cannabinoids are used in the form of an extract of cannabis such that many of the naturally occurring compounds are co-extracted with the THC or CBD. Alternatively, the cannabinoids are present in the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis, wherein the CBD or THC are present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. Alternatively, the CBD and THC may be synthetically produced. A specific ratio of CBD and THC such as 10:1 to 1:10 (CBD:THC) or more preferably between 2:1 to 1:2 (CBD:THC) may be used.
